Ryu: -_- See even when giving an effort, this does not feel right.

A tiny Ryu was in the coat pocket of Azure, as they Goku Vegeta and the Future Warriors traveled through time, all being cramped.

Azure: It's a real good thing no one's claustrophobic.

Goku: @_@ I think this trip is making me dizzy.

Fang: For the sake of simplicity, when they are away from their present selves, the future versions will just be called their names.

Kina: We're almost there guys!

They continued to go through the gap in time, before they seemed to exit the place. Once they did, the Time Machine began to descend in a war zone.

Ryu: So this is what Black's done huh?

They got out, as Goten put the Machine in Capsule form.

Azure: Man, I get you two more now. You've been living in a nightmare.

Ryu: Shit the future me's PTSD must have gone through the roof before death.

Karma: Wait, wouldn't that make it worse?

Ryu: Believe it or not, with some people it feels completely welcome.

Goten: O_O Ah- That is dark.

Vegeta: Let's focus here.

Ryu: Yeah. YO, JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE CAN ALL SENSE YOU!

Immediately many people were heard jolting up.

Kina: WHOEVER'S THERE COME OUT!!! WE DON'T MEAN ANY HARM, AND THIS ISN'T RYU BLACK!!!

Hearing this, the people hiding came out, revealing themselves to be a familiar face, accompanied by two soldiers.

???: Kina, Goten, Karma!!

Karma: Mai!!

FUTURE MAI!!

Mai: You're back! And you brought help!!

Ryu: Wait wait wait wait, out of everyone we know, MAI has been able to survive this long?!

Mai: ... What's that supposed to mean-

Ryu: Holy shit girl you're a different kind of tough to survive an evil me! Color me impressed.

Mai: Uhhhh-

Goten: Role with it, that's a giant compliment coming from Ryu Kaizen.

Azure: You don't know the half of it.

Mai: A-Anyway, I'm glad you all got here safely.

Kina: Mai, have you seen Trunks Gohan and Krillin?

Mai looked at them, before shaking her head side to side.

Goten: Damnit!!

Ryu sensed something nearby, as he seemed to become serious.

Ryu: Mai, you and your soldiers need to leave.

He held a hand out, with a dozen cases of capsules appearing in it.

Ryu: That has food and drink for everyone still alive.

Mai: Th-That's great! But why should we only leave?

Ryu: Bad idea to stay around for the fireworks.

Right then Azure Goku and Vegeta could sense it as well.

Mai: Wait, does that mean-

Azure: Black is on the move.

Karma: Wait, you can clearly sense him?!

Goku: You can't? It's kind of a dead ringer.

Goten: Black's energy has always been foggy and too obscured to sense right for us! That's how he's gotten to drop on us so many times!

Azure: Reasonable, you can't sense God Ki.

Mai took the capsules, before getting onto a motorcycle.

Mai: Please don't underestimate him!!

Ryu: It might be me, so no shot.

Azure: Yeah I like living thank you. By the way, I call dibs.

Ryu: Oh you prick!!!

Mai and the Soldiers road off, as the next second, the sky began to thunder. Ryu Black descended from clouds with a smirk.

Black: Color me unsurprised. Something just told me you would all choose the path of a warrior. Foolish, but a warrior to you all.

Azure: Yeah whatever. This time you're gonna die once and for all.

Azure pounded his fist into his hand walking up.

Goku: Hey no fair Azure, this wasn't decided yet!!

Azure: What the hell could you two do?! Ryu's taken you both on blind before!!

Vegeta: It's not like that faker is the real deal!!

Ryu: Rock paper scissors for it!!

Kina: Are you kidding?!

Karma: Why are you all so immature about it, just fight him to-

All: ROCK PAPER SCISSORS SHOOT!!!

The rest had picked paper, while Azure had gone scissors.

Azure: Suck a dick!!

Not waisting any time, Azure powered up into Perfected Blue. Black only smiled at this, clapping.

Black: Even if it's wrong, a mortal body enveloped in divine energy is nothing short of beautiful. And when a Destroyer Candidate like yourself does so it's far more so.

Azure: Yeah, keep talking.

Black: I suppose I shouldn't dally around with you. You indeed hate playing game in these situations.

Black smirked before clenching his fist.

Black: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

The ground shook, as everyone was surprised. A pink and dark red aura shot up from black, as his hair soon took a similar color while spiking up.

Vegeta: What is this?!

Black: Quite beautiful, is it not? I have to thank you Ryu. You showed me the power of a Super Saiyan God. That coupled with the power those other Saiyan's of this time have shown me, I found out exactly how to make something for myself. Sticking to how you like to name your transformations, we'll call it Rosé. Yes, Super Saiyan Rosé.

Black flew towards Azure, who barely was able to put his guard up in time, before being sent flying into the air with a kick. Black appeared higher above, before hitting him with an axe kick. Before Azure could be hurled away again, black uppercutted him, starting to hit Azure with a flurry of punches and kicks.

Black: Although you're indeed powerful, you still are nowhere near enough!! The power of this body great enough to surpass even a Destroyer!!

He spun and kicked Azure across the face, before a blade of energy appeared from his hand.

Black: NOW DIE!!!

He slashed towards Azure, only to be blocked by a wall of earth.

Black: What-?!!

Azure: I'll admit, like this, I have no chance against you.

Black turned around, before being met by a punch to the face by a battered Azure. He was sent crashing into the ground, as Azure wiped blood off of his mouth.

Ryu: That power is around on par with what Ryuko is in Perfected Blue. Azure's not at that level yet like that. Hell even at Wrathful Blue I'm not that powerful yet.

He pulled up his sleeves.

Ryu: Better get down to things my-

Azure: STAY RIGHT THERE RYU!!!

Everyone looked at the annoyed look Azure had.

Azure: I swear to Fang you ARE NOT gonna step in while I can still fight! Have a little faith why don't ya?!!

Ryu: *Snicker* Alright alright, I'll admit it was my bad.

Black got back up, only having a bit of blood on his mouth.

HIT THE MUSIC!!

Black: Why do you persist like this? At your current level, there's no possibility for you to defeat me

Azure: I know.

He dropped to base with a smirk.

Azure: Let's fix that shall we?

Destroyed rubble began to float up into the air, as a purple aura appeared around Azure.

Azure: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Thunder began to crack through the skies, as the ground began to shake again.

Goku: Woah, Azure's power is shooting up like a rocket!!

Vegeta: Not only that!! I-It feels almost like-

The silhouette of Beerus seemed to be behind the man, as the transformation concluded. His hair turned purple, and got slightly longer, while his eyes changed became a glowing gold. Ryu looked at Azure, with the wind blowing back his hair, before it soon stopped.

Azure: Honestly, compared to Ultra Instinct this form lacks quite a bit, but it's good for JUST leaving the beginning stages. For now.

Black: Th-That couldn't possibly be the same form!

Azure: Ohhh, this look familiar? Hahaha, honestly it doesn't have a name yet. But, if we're gonna follow this trend-

Azure began walking forward towards Black.

Azure: Ultra Destroyer doesn't sound to bad does it?

He broke into a full sprint before disappearing, and appearing behind Black. Without hesitation, he grabbed the imposter, before flinging him into the air, creating a shockwave. He appeared in front of Black, nailing him in the stomach with a punch. Once feeling the force, he nearly threw up blood, before receiving a side kick to the face, sending him into the ground. Azure appeared over him, before mercilessly double axe handling him. This caused the entire planet to shake, and the ground around them rise. Smoke formed, as Azure could be seen with an almost psychotic smile.

Kina: O_O Are we sure that's my uncle fighting there?

Ryu: Eh, he'll be back to normal in a few seconds.

They saw Azure stomping Black without much, if ANY restraint.

Goten: Uhhh... I mean I'm glad to see Black getting what he deserves-

Karma: But I feel like we're ALL thankful Azure's on our side.

Vegeta: Relax, he just has to let himself become a little unhinged to tap into that power. However it's vastly different from before.

They saw Azure floating back up from the smoke, cracking his neck, chuckling a bit.

Azure: I wouldn't go with unhinged, but sure. Did you really keel over and die just like that? Come this is just a warm up.

They looked down in the crater, seeing Black was nowhere to be found.

Azure: Damn, he ran. RYU, DO YOU HAVE ANY ABILITIES THAT ALLOW YOU HIDE YOUR AURA?

Ryu: YEAH SORRY, I COPIED REN'S SEMBLANCE A LONG TIME AGO.

Azure: Shit that coupled with Ki suppressing is a pain in the ass.

He dropped to the ground, returning to base form. Immediately the Kina and Goten stepped away from him.

Azure: Really? I literally just dropped out of the form.

Goten: If you think I'm not gonna be wary after a beat down like THAT then you're nuts Azure!!

Goku: You did lay a pretty heavy beating on him.

Shonen: Although it was completely deserved.

Azure: *Sigh* Well like Vegeta said before, that's just how I am for a little when I enter Ultra Destroyer. It takes time, but eventually I can start fighting with full clarity and then really screw someone over.

Kina: T-This is... I couldn't even sense your energy, but I can tell just from the pressure coming off of you that you ascended to a different league!!

Ryu: You think that's strong? You should see me when I use Ultra Instinct.

Karma: Ultra what?

Ryu: Later. For now, let's get to Mai. We'll continue the search for Black tomorrow.

Goten: Tomorrow?

Ryu: Trust me, searching after someone with my abilities would be a headache on it's own. He might be stronger afterwards, but the next time I'LL be the one to fight.

Azure: Ugh, fine. Spoil my fun. Anyway, I'm not the only one that noticed right?

Kina: Noticed what?

Goku: So it wasn't just me.

Karma: What are you talking about?

Ryu: Karma, what was the difference between mine and Black's movements.

Karma thought back to when Ryu faced Goten and Black, seemingly putting in no effort.

Karma: You were dodging without even trying.

Goten: Hold on, you said it's a technique you mastered. Your body can react on it's own.

Ryu: Exactly. Black isn't able to use my Ultra Instinct, and I can understand exactly how.

Kina: If that's the case, shouldn't we go after him now before he can?!

Ryu: Kina, trust me. Black will NEVER, be able to use Ultra Instinct like I do. And because of that, he won't be able to use it at all.

He smirked turning around.

Ryu: Not too easy when a mind is in a conflict.

ELSEWHERE!!

Ryu Black was limping, slowly making his way to a cabin in the woods, as a trail of blood was behind him.

Black: A-Argh... T-To think that Azure Kaito would *Cough* have such brutal strength... It even surpasses some Destroyers...!!

His wounds slowly tried to heal, while a light flickered around him.

Black: If it wasn't for Aura, then I would be dead right about now... But this pain... Will only lead me the greater power.

He collapsed, falling unconscious.

CHAPTER END!!
